Examiner summary
A stylistically aware programme with convincing blues character and generally secure continuity. The opening Tarentelle needs a more purposeful tempo and lighter articulation; long transitions also reduce the sense of a single, confident performance.
22/30
Waltz
Secure pulse and stylistic intention, with scope for finer balance and a more naturally shaped return.
Foggy Blues
Secure pulse and stylistic intention, with scope for finer balance and a more naturally shaped return.
Jackson Street Blues
Secure pulse and stylistic intention, with scope for finer balance and a more naturally shaped return.
Performance as a whole
Contrasts communicate, though lengthy gaps and a very quiet recording weaken programme flow.

Prioritised next take
Three jobs before pressing record again.
- 01
Recover Tarentelle tempo gradually. Three clean repetitions at each five-point metronome increase.
- 02
Rehearse the programme joins. Start each next piece within eight seconds without rushing the first bar.
- 03
Move the recorder closer. Leave headroom but make tone and balance easier to judge.
